TRAGEDY IN BRCOkLYS.
A Beautiful Young Lady Accidentally Killed

by Pistols Discharge.
Profound sorrow was excited on Sunday
in Philadelphia by the melancholy intelli-
gerce that one OF the most popular young
ladies of Philadelphis society, had met her
death suddenly while visiting at the resi-.
dence OF a friend. The deceased was Miss
Annie G. Lesley, residing at No. 3l5 South
Fitteeenth street, Philsdelphis. Miss Lesley
was not in that city at the time Of the accident.
She WAS visiting the family of Mr.. William
II. Nichols, on Pierpont street, Brooklyn. Mr..
Nichols Is u well-known member OF the New
York Stock Exchange, and was president of
the Young Republican club at the time of the
election OF Mayor Low. His son, Mr.. George
Nichols, was great friend of Miss Lssley's
and during summer at Saratoga had as.
sisted her in practice with firearms, an
amusement OF which the unfortunate Young
lady was very fond, as she was OF such other
outdoor sports aud pastimes as lady could
with propriety take part in. She was noted a

To Lessea Cyclene Horrors.

The destructive work Of the cyclones in
Missouri and Kansas, calls for u more
thorough and scientific investigation of
these phenomena. Engineers have under
taken TO control the Mississippi river, and
have been remarkably successful. In
France they have, by scientific forestry,
prevented the desolation Of fertile valleys
by wild mountain torrents. They are
planning a change in the climate of the
French possessions in Africa by the crea-
ton of q small inland sea. Why should
they not presume to meet the cyclones OF
our West with some device that would
neutralize their most destructive features
Man cannot, Of course, presume to con.
troll great climatic changes, for these
have from the earliest times controlled the
destiny of nations F; but it may be possible,
by the scientific use Of natural forces
whose influence on climate has been
studied, so to modify the force Of occa-
sional storms as to greatly lessen their dan.
ger, and even to change them from curses
to blessings. At present the question APP
pears to be about as far above us as the
earthquake question is below us. But we
know that trees and water courses influ.
ence the weather, and that men can use
those forces; at all events it ought to be
possible to establish system Of telegraphic
signals giving warning of the approach of
cyclones.
These storms do not move with very
great velocity, forty miles an hour being
their greatest speed, and it would seem to
be sufficient precaution to encourage the
construction Of telegraph lines, and require
the building of storm. proof stations. Of
course, the storm would play havoc with
the wires, but not until due warning had
been given by the operators who would not
need to run to cyclone caves to save their
lives.
The cyclone has become a feature of
Western life, and the great destruction
wrought by it in Iowa and Minnesota, in
1852 and 1855, served to call the attention
Of Eastern people to phenomenon tha,
the West had long been familiar with.
